Felted mouse and bag


I have been having a ball. A ball with 100% wool.

My two little cousins are coming to spend Christmas with us and I was dying to use the felting wool I brought a couple of months ago and this was the perfect excuse. Two home made gifts!

Firstly I'll just allow you a couple of seconds to Oooooooooo, Mmmmmmmmm over the colours!





 The little bag was made using a fandabbydosey pattern here (if you haven't checked this site out you are in for a flippin treat!) I used the mobile pouch pattern and then have added a strap. Its idea for a little girls over the body bag.


Look at the sherberttie colours. I loved knitting with this yarn!!!!


Hanging on the tree ... and why not! Its Christmas!


Then there is this cheeky little fella.


I hope Ben likes him. I certainly do.


I used the pattern from my tutorial for a little knitted mouse. You can see it here.


This was my first attempt at felting. I am certainly very pleased and would recommend you have a go too. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  1. Fantastic bright colours. Did you felt the wool or the finished article, or was the wool felted in the first place? Der!!!
